Lined with monuments, Slocum Avenue climbs the northern section of Culp's Hill until just before it reaches its summit. Williams Avenue takes a shortcut to the west. Both are one-way north and west. The summit of Culp's Hill is topped by a parking area and an observation tower that stands high above the surrounding trees.
